She broke in remotely and from home and even tried to erase the audit trails, which we all kind of know today leaves a trail of it’s own.

May 1, 2009 (IDG News Service) The former IT director for a nonprofit organ and tissue donation center pleaded guilty to a charge that she broke into the organization's computer network and deleted organ donation database records, invoice files, and database and accounting software, the U.S. Department of Justice (DOJ) said.
Danielle Duann, 51, pleaded guilty Thursday in U.S. District Court for the Southern District of Texas to a charge related to illegally accessing the computer network of LifeGift Organ Donation Center in Houston. Duann was indicted in June on one count of causing damage to a protected computer.
LifeGift is the sole provider of organ procurement services for more than 200 hospitals in parts of Texas, the DOJ said.
